Keith: I'm not sure of your tastes Taste doesn't matter for this thread. There's lots of mediocre DVDs out there and it's good to see a list of some of the better ones highlighted. For example, I'm no Robbie Williams fan but I understand his releases are some of the more impressive and entertaining to watch - he certainly was a highlight at Live 8.

David Bowie: A Reality Tour The Concert For George: George Harrison Tribute Concert The Concert For Bangladesh Queen: We Will Rock You (DTS) This was filmed originally for IMAX. The reissue is crystal clear (unlike the original Pioneer release) and the DTS track is awesome. Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert R.E.M. Tourfilm

I'm not sure of your tastes, but if you like Yes, the Symphonic DVD is one of the best music DVD I have. It's been out for a few years now and it was very well made, both content, video and audio quality.

I've bought RUSH 30th Anniversay Edition (Deluxe Edition). Great packaging. You get 2 DVD, 2 CD, 2 limited signed guitar picks and backstage pass. Neil Peart is the best damm drummer that ever live. I also got CREAM (Royal Albert Hall 2005). They might be old, but those guys are professional. They sound better than 30 years ago. I also got Nirvana and Alice in Chains music video on DVD.

On a purely entertainment standpoint, the Live8 DVD is a large eclectic mix of performances, which if nothing else is good value for money - the London event was also filmed in HD so is visually impressive.

Whilst Down From The Mountain is a nice compliment to "O Brother Where Art Thou" and an ideal - and cheap - gift for relatives who also enjoyed it.
